Trevor Sikes, “Government Seeks to Resume Taxpayer Info Sharing With ICE” (Tax Notes, June 16, 2026):

An injunction against the sharing of taxpayer data between the IRS and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was improperly granted and is hindering criminal law enforcement efforts, according to the Justice Department.

In its June 12 appellate brief to the First Circuit in CEDC v. Bessent, the government defended the IRS’s disclosure of taxpayer information to ICE under a data sharing agreement and argued that the district court abused its discretion in putting a stop to the sharing.

Along with Center for Taxpayer Rights v. IRS, No. 26-5006 (D.C. Cir.), this is the second injunction against the sharing of taxpayer information between the agencies that the government is looking to get overturned.
